Martha Stewart addresses viral ‘thirst trap’ photo
The only thing more viral than COVID is Martha Stewart’s sexy selfie.
Martha Stewart had no idea she was posting a thirst trap that would go viral when she snapped that now-famous selfie from her East Hampton pool last week.
The 78-year-old lifestyle expert admitted that she did not know what the term “thirst trap” meant, but after having it explained to her, she told “ET” that her photo was “definitely a thirst trap.”
But how did the domestic diva capture the perfect shot?
“[I] just thought I looked great coming out of the pool,” she told the outlet. “My camera came on backwards, you know, selfie mode, and I looked so nice. The sun was on my face. I thought, ‘Oh, that looks pretty,’ so I took the picture. It looked good.”
The former model explained that while she’s no longer young, she is still in her “heyday” and revealed her secret to aging gracefully.
“Just eat well, exercise well, garden, climb mountains,” she said. “I climbed Kilimanjaro. For goodness sake, I went up into the Himalayas. You have to do that kind of stuff. That’s the kind of stuff that keeps one vibrant and young and it’s important.”
And even though the Martha Stewart Living mogul will turn 79 in August, she doesn’t plan on celebrating.
“I’m finished with birthdays, darling,” she said. “We’re going backwards now.”
